WordPress site owners would like to change domain name from

thesite.com
to
site.com

Pretty sure this will break the URL’s of all posts.

Anyway around this??

Thanks

  1. You should be able to just change the URL in settings, and your host, but if there is issues do a search and replace in the database with either a plugin or myphpadmin. Also warm them about SEO implications from changing domain names.

  2. “*Pretty sure this will break the URL’s of all posts.*” – Use the Better Search Replace plugin to bulk change URLs after a domain name change.

    Use Google’s Change Of Address tool when changing domain to move your SEO juice across to the new domain [https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9370220?hl=en](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9370220?hl=en) (not doing this correctly means you are essentially starting from scratch)

  3. You can use the WordPress CLI

    `wp search-replace ‘https://oldurl.com’ ‘https://newurl.com’ –skip-columns=guid `
